speeding up the compilation on SUN Solaris environment

swamymns · #1 (**permalink**) 07-12-2006

Dear friends,
Please let me know how do I increase the speed of my compilation in SUN Solaris environment.

actually I have many subfolders which contains .cc files.

when I compile makefile at the root it will take much time to compile all the subfolders and generates object(.o) files.

Can any one of you please tell me who can I increase the compilation speed.

Please provide me the solution.

Thanks in advance,
swamymns

There is no "don't compile slowly" button. What you're asking for is known as a "faster computer".

If you can run the makefile against a smaller subset of cc files (or create one that does) and you have more than one cpu on your box try "multiprocessing"

Code:

cd /path/subfolder1
script_that_calls_makefile  &
cd /path/subfolder2
script_that_calls_makefile  &

Even on a single processor box, the total time elapsed will be very slightly less.
